  SYRACUSE BEATS COLUMBIA TEAM Walter Koppisch Stars In Last GridirOn Effort Nov. 27.-Percy Haughton’s last foot ball team was whipped in its last game of the season Thursday afternoon by the Yellowbacks from Syracuse Uni versity, 9 to 6. Walter Koppisch, for four years the one gleaming glinting star of Columbia and for three years the captain of the squad, closed his career in the once Bedraggled Blue of Columbia with a touchdown, but he was blanketed almost throughout by from two to four Syra- cuse players and couldn’t win alone. Jack Mcbride, of Syracuse, one of the greatest scorers of the year in the east, scored all of the points for his college with three goals from the field and brought his total to ninety for the sea- son, which ambitious total includes Il field goals. There was a goat in this game of football and he lay on his face in the straw at the Columbia sideline as the last quarter ebbed and flowed on the cross barred sward, crying as though he had lost a war for his country. His name is Walter Krissel, blocky built Californian, who like Koppisch, was playing his last game for Columbia. Krissel Misses This Krissel is hefty piece of work and too slow in his leg action to quali- | fy as a regular member of the ball tot ing department, so he was schooled in the thing he did best, kicking, and was saved for that sort of work. When Kop- pish made Columbia’s touchdown by 25-yard run after catching forward pass in the second quarter and put Nol, .,, kho was sent in for just one play, to kick the goal after touchdown. The pass from center was al trifle too low, but Krissel himself was nervous and he handled the ball a fraction of an in- stant too long before dropping it to his boot. And that microscopic delay, Syracuse’s forward line charged through and one of the yellow sweatered men took the ball full on his chest, block ing the score. Again Gets Chance Again in the third quarter, Krissel got his chance when Columbia, with the score tied 6 and 6, called him in to try a field goal from an easy posi- tion. It. was another of those. emergen- Feies responsibility was great. 5.- The line wasn’t holding any too long and he wasn’t getting the ball away any. too fast. He swung his boot and again Syracuse chest confronted the ball, sending it bounding crazily toward the sidelines, where one of the Syracuse players snatched in on the bound for long run past midfield. krlssel was yanked out again, not as rebuke for failure but strictly in accordance with the plan. And as he reached the sideline, he sprawled in the straws and cried. For a moment at the start of the second half it appeared as though the crowd at this game would see a running match between Koppisch and Chet Bowman, two of the greatest track ath- letes in the country, but Bowman was hurt on the very first play and was withdrawn after total experience of about thirty seconds in the game. both backfields seemed to be wearing oregon boots and the carriers were smeared so consistently by opposition tacklers that the quarterbacks had to call constant bunting. Both lines held ksolldly on the defensive and seemed to outclass their backfields. Columbia gave koppish every chance in the world to win the game and close his career with final feat of glory, but he was too well watched by Syracuse to get away arter his one touchdown. koppish leaves Columbia and foot ball, however, with a pretty sizeable record for his touchdown made while the tukeys sizzled in the ovens was ms thirty-second in the thirty-four games that he played for his school, and It brought his total of points scored In four years to 192. He took his de parture from the game with his blue blanket trailing from his schoulders as one of the greatest individual athletes or the time in the east. He played with Columbia when her teams were a joke and the name of Columbia was held in dlsreDpect by football minded people. and he lasted through the big year of Columbia’s return under Percy Haugh- tons coaching. Columbia had a double inspiration to win today for Haughton’s record and for. Walter Koppish’s, but the Syracuse ilne stood as firm as the rusty. frown- Ing ot Coogan’s bluff and there was no going through it.

  LACK OF TICKETS CAUSES CRY. in SATURDAY GAME Several Titles Cinched in Thanksgiving Day Games sa. BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 2s.- Husky young cadets from West Point, and smart looking midshipmen from Annapolis gathered here today to put in the final licks for the annual Army Navy game which will close the regular season among the big football teams here tomorrow. Practically all of the. big sec tional elevens washed up late yes terday for the season, but the ca diets and the midshipnen as a rule like to have the stage alone and they usually get it. Baltimore is all “het upo over the first interservicc game that the citizens have been able to see for Il trolley ride, and Baltimore !. is also “hct up that so few of the citizens have been able to get tick cts. New York lost this year s. game because the owners of the Broadway playhouscs trebbled the price of tickets two years ago when the boys from West Point and AM napolis, who are. not laden with dough found they had to spend their biggest Saturday night of the year in the movie houses New York didn’ care much about seeing the game but wanted the business. Bal timore wanted to see the game and only two thousand tickets were al tlowed the citizenship. s.; sst5 The Army, because of a heavier and more experienced team. is ruling the favoritc in the betting to win. ss54 .u2i;a i. The cadet squad arrived vesterday and accepted the hospitality of John Hopkins University, where the players are quartered. The Navy squad also dropped in yesterday from Annapolis. but was taken back to the academy last night and will not return until temerfow.i / Several Championships Settled Several championships were deeided in the Thanksgiving Day games that practically ended – the 1924 season Yesterday Missouri won the title in in the. Missouri Valley conference by beating kansas II 20 0. Nebraska finished sec ond and Drake third. Alabama, with a nice comeback after a defeat by Centre, won the championship of the southern con ference with Il 33 to 0 victory over Georgia. - Pennsylvania thumped Corntll 90 to 0 and remained one of the three unbeaten teams of the east. Penn, Yale and Darmonth can claim the first ranking in the east but it is likely that Yale will have the most noise in its claim. Syracuse beat Columbia 9 TO 6! when Jack Mcbride, the best kick cr in the east, booted three field goals. The victors packed up after the game and started for Cali fornia to play the University of Southern California u week from tomorrow. 1t was reported that a two wear contract for games with Minnesota will be arranged when the squad is in Chicago tor7 a rest and workout. -1..5 5.G,. f34E | In the other big eastern games, Pittsburgh defeated Penn State % to ana Vest Virginia sdowned Washington anS JeffersoV 10 30 !, 7.
